I am also happy to be a referral resource if you are needing less expensive alternatives. My desire is to ensure all clients who are seeking counseling are able to receive mental health support within their financial means. THE SPACE: In my twenties, I spent a significant amount of time in the theatre. I loved being a performer, but some of my favorite moments were shared in an offstage space called The Green Room. The Green Room became a second living space for the cast and crew and was a place where everyone could just show up as their authentic selves. I love the metaphor of the green room for my therapeutic practice. If "all the world is a stage", the green room is the space where we can release our many characters in life and connect with our true selves.
